DESCRIPTION
The Home Automation market will not emerge until telecom operators open and share their connectivity and management infrastructure API to third parties. Challenges are today on the delivery of these APIs and the guarantees to offer every actor to use this open infrastructure. Challenges include the deployment of applications on a shared embedded execution environment. Orange is currently developing and testing a connectivity infrastructure for Home Automation. This infrastructure is open in terms of (i) service providers, whom applications can interact with home devices from the Cloud, or can be embedded in the Orange Home Controller; and in terms of (ii) devices, the Orange Home Controller integrating a Zigbee chip and being extensible, through USB dongle to other protocols. OSGi, leveraged by ProSyst products and competencies, has been chosen as a robust, and already industrial execution platform, for embedded applications, which is able to guarantee sharing and isolation between third parties' code -, including competitors. Beyond the use of existing and standardOSGi bundles, Orange has defined a very simple interface for services providers, in order to enable their interaction with sensors & activators from the Cloud. For the end-user and the applications providers Orange also enables a secured management of access rights on devices. The presentation will provide details about this development, the technical and standardization challenges telecom operators have to jointly overcome as well as on the vision and the roadmap of the public delivery of this development.

What is Orange Home Automation ?
A bunch of services and smart devices installed at home that allow
• an always-on system that watches over your home and alerts you if something goes wrong (Serenity)
• an easy management of actuators with well designed and rich interfaces (Comfort)
• the optimisation of electricity and gas consumptions (Energy)

Home Automation and Smart Home
• Other services can be met by the Home Automation infrastructure
• Health: The care of elderly or handicapped people at home (Ambient Assisted Living)
• Wellness: A coach at Home • Multimedia : Content sharing
• A new world of applications will emerge with the variety of sensors, actuators, and devices that become available

A slowly emerging market
• The Smart Home Market is fragmented into niche markets • Proprietary protocols, APIs and solutions • Expensive solutions with a professional installation • Numerous partnerships on vertical applications
⇒ Weak ecosystem structure ⇒ Weak infrastructure for sharing applications ⇒ Multiple standards = weak integration

OSGi and ProSyst
• Sharing and isolation • Java • Embedded solution
• Main provider for embedded OSGi • Industrial approach (licensing,
standardization) • HDM abstraction layer

An advanced state of the art, however incomplete Embedded service software platform Partial solution to be improved
Resource sharing and isolation on a common embedded software platform
OSGi is the technology reference on the market before .NET and Androïd but it addresses only code sharing and isolation
Robustness, adaptation to constrained devices, transactional guaranties
OSGi Micro Edition – specified by Orange and IS2T, maintained by IS2T – shows promises, however demands testing and tools.
Security – management of the access rights to applications, to hardware functions and to deployed sensors
Dynamic and distributed application programming, data mediation infrastructure
Device and software management platform and application shops
Partial solution to be improved
Modular validation of applications Tools are needed to bring guarantees before deployment
Openness of device management platforms and application shop tools to 3rd parties
Secure and scalable tools remain to be developed.
Modular application deployment and administration Protocols exist (TR-69) and need to be adapted and integrated.
Sensor network management Protocols (TR-69) need to be adapted and tested against concrete use cases based on new low rate sensor networks (ZigBee).
Hardware box platform and sensor networks Partial solution to be improved
Low power and low cost technology requirements
Technology interoperability The promise of ZigBee and IPv6 must be guaranteed.
Consistent integration of sensor network technologies on a hardware platform
